Apparently most women don't realize this, because capris are still going strong. I'd wear the umbrella in a heartbeat in miserable weather.

Chas, I had those packed away for the trip last week (aren't you glad I didn't wear them?!?). Actually, Speedo makes more that the Euro man-thongs that get the bad rap; this is a pair of rather tasteful trunks that I brought for the hot tub in Pigeon Forge.

It's already HOT. We all wear capris. To wear long pants in this weather would be to suffocate. Capris have to be the right length and cut. Mine are more like cropped pants. We all wear them with sandals and tank tops or such. They only look stupid if they are too tight, too short, or (gasp) worn with closed shoes and socks. So, put me down as never wanting to wear tight, short, cheap/old-lady capris with closed shoes and socks. That is like a man wearing shorts with black socks and sandals and a Hawaiian shirt and fisherman's hat. 'nuff said? I live in Florida. It’s already HOT.

I never saw the point to capris--make up your mind, slacks or shorts. I love my skorts, however.

The wossies that went to KU wore pink shirts and no man wants to be a woosie. My wife is just killing me over their national championship in BB but I guarantee you not one player on their team wears pink. My wife wears shorts in summer and Capri's in the winter.

I don't know anyone who wears a No one wears a suit there either unless they are in a coffin. My wife and daughter will wear the newest fashion fad going even if I laugh at them.

I cannot wear shorts to work, and pants are hot, so capris are the next best thing. I don't have bad calves, so maybe I'm ok wearing them. I would never wear any item of clothing that accentuates fat rolls by showing each of them off as they cascade over the top of one's pants. Or anything that requires bra straps to be out in the open. Both are so unattractive. Do girls not realize that there are different bra styles for a reason? Or that they would be more attractive in a loose fitting top that didn't show off their lovehandles in extreme detail? Or worse, with their belly fat hanging out of their tops and over their pants? Yikes! I wear capris all summer! I cannot wear shorts to work, and pants are hot, so capris are the next best thing. I don’t have bad calves, so maybe I’m ok wearing them.
